Hi,

anyone know the length of the rear shock shafts on the BX4?

I'd been assuming the Tamioya ones were the same but I think the rears may not be!?

Asuming that the shock shafts in my BX spares are the std rear ones, then 43.5mm, but you really want the longer 1.02" ones from the back of a B4.

Sorry mate, is there a typo there, 43.5mm is way longer than 1.02"??

You want the longer 49.6mm shafts from the BC, teamed up with the taller tower.

I probably shouldn't have put the " after 1.02:blush:

Think I got caught out by the American's odd way of labeling their shock lengths.

Anyhoo, I have the B4 ones in mine, with a taller rear shock tower from DC Racing, made the biggest improvement to the car, after the flat chassis:)
